"Aveline, don't be afraid! I'll get you out of there!" Russell's voice echoed through the factory.

"Hey!" Darren snapped, his eyes narrowing to slits. "What am I, invisible? You're shouting like that right in front of me?"

Russell's gaze shifted, locking onto Darren. His voice turned cold. "So, you contacted Lucas and demanded money from him. But even if I pay you and he doesn't, you still won't let her go, will you?" Darren replied, "That's right."
